Can't.

High sensitivity means correlation error which leads to inaccurate
tracks. I record a lot of my tracks in the woods and they wander by 50
- 200 metres according to the density of the trees and/or hillside
obstructions (I get better results _inside_ a local mall). Now to
someone on a 500 km hike, an error of 500 meters is very acceptable -
and of course he will often be in clear areas anyway. But to someone
wanting to log their tracks accurately, it is often a hindrance.
